Frequently Asked Questions
Tan Research polypeptides available for worldwide purchase. Research peptides are reconstituted by first removing the plastic flip top. Swab exposed rubber stopper with alcohol and with an insulin syringe pull plunger back 100 units and slowly push into bacteriostatic water rubber seal. Depress plunger filling the vial with pressure and then turn upside down drawing 100 units of water. Remove syringe from dilutent carefully insert into Melanotan II, for example. Inject water into vial observing a clear reconstitution.
What are Peptides
Tan Research peptides are synthetic analogs of naturally occurring amino acid hormones. Genetic variation, aging and condition of receptors make for innovative research at the cutting edge of science. Tan Research is dedicated to the development and distribution of novel research peptide analogs. Research peptides demonstrate extraordinary characteristics, guaranteed.
Peptide Storage
Freeze dried peptides have excellent stabilities (in most cases, can be stored for years and not degrade), however, in solution, have limited stability. Since peptides are susceptible to degradation, the first rule is to prepare sterile solutions, either by reconstitution in bact water or bacteriostatic sodium chloride. IGF-1 analogs reconstitute in .6% acetic acid solution for long term storage. Store reconstituted research peptides in the fridge.
Peptide Appearance
Peptides settle in different patterns. Peptide synthesis can yield light and fluffy, compact, dense rocks or a small speck barely visible. Accurate determination of peptide concentration is complex. IGF-1 peptides are long chain amino acid analogs which tend to appear as a puck. Melanotan peptides appear as a powder or cube.
Where to Buy Melanotan
Tan Research offers discounted rates for bulk purchase. Peptides sold in bulk receive wholesale price when logged in with an account. Guest checkout does not receive quantity discount and views retail pricing for single peptide purchases. Login or Create an account to save today!
How Melanotans Work
Melanotan is a synthetic analog of the naturally occurring peptide hormone which stimulates the cells that produce melanin. Researchers, where Melanotan II was first developed, knew that one of the best defenses against cancer was a natural tan which has been slowly developed over time. Hypothesis was that an effective way to reduce skin damage would be to induce the natural tanning system prior to UV exposure. The naturally occurring hormone causes melanogenesis, a process by which melanocytes produce pigment.
